According to Globo Esporte Futebol, the CBF requested an investigation into a threat made by Alexandre Domênico, the president of the Gaviões da Fiel, against referees. Domênico, who is the president of the main Corinthians fan group, made the threat on social media, stating that it is 'insustentável segurar a massa' (unbearable to hold back the crowd). He also claimed to know where referees stay before games. However, Domênico later clarified that his statement was made 'de cabeça quente' as a Corinthian fan, not as a representative of the Gaviões da Fiel. He stated that his intention was to show the climate of frustration among fans, not to encourage any form of violence. The strongest verified fact is that the CBF has requested an investigation into the threat made by Domênico.
